humble minister

After hearing this, Han Qiu sneered and said, "I don't think the two of us have anything to say."

"Oh, but Lian doesn't think so. I believe Mr. Han's repeated visits to Yu Niang, mother and son are also for their own good, but there is a good saying, which is 'doing bad things with good intentions'. I hope you can listen to me. Let's make a decision, okay?" Lian Ying still smiled gently, without any trace of anger, and strangely calmed down the opposite Han Qiu.

"Okay, I'll just listen to what you, Mr. Tingyun, are going to say." Han Qiu glanced at Yuniang, knowing that it was probably Yuniang who told him about it, so he also had a point for what Lian Ying wanted to say. curious.

"I don't want to say some things clearly. I believe the young master can understand. We might as well talk in the room." Lian Ying glanced at Guan Xing when he said this. She herself didn't want to hurt Guan Xing, after all, he still loves this nephew very much.

So Han Qiu followed Lian Ying, and the two went into the house to talk.

"My lord, this..." Yuniang looked at Shi Yu worriedly, wondering if the two people's talks would collapse. To be honest, she felt keenly that if this conversation failed, probably Han Qiu would really take Guan Xing directly. Go, this is the result she never wanted.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Shi Yu patted Guan Xing's head, comforting him in a rare soft voice.

Regarding the conversation between these two people, Shi Yu probably guessed something, and he believed that Lian Ying could persuade Han Qiu. Anyway, he is Mr. Tingyun, and he is also the person he is trying to win over. If he can help... …

Thinking of this, Shi Yu shook his head secretly, really thinking too much, judging from the current situation, this Mr. Tingyun may not necessarily help him.But according to what he saw, Lian Ying would never join other camps, and...he would absolutely not allow it, no matter whether it was talent or affection, he would not allow it.

The conversation between Lian Ying and Han Qiu didn't last long, and soon they left the house.Lian Ying still had a gentle face, while Han Qiu's face was still a little gloomy, but it was much better than before, at least not so decisive.

Before leaving, Han Qiu still couldn't hold back, and responded to Lian again: "Young Master Tingyun, don't forget what you said today, otherwise Han will not forgive you."

Lian Ying looked at Han Qiu who had been keeping a straight face, and couldn't help but look serious, glanced at Yuniang and Guan Xing, and said solemnly: "Of course I remember, Lian thinks he is still a person who keeps his promise."

Han Qiu said "Yes", and turned to Guan Xing again, with a more amiable expression on his face: "Xing'er, you will study hard with Mr. Lian from now on, but remember that if he bullies you, you must tell uncle, and uncle will take care of you." You do justice."

After hearing this, Guan Xing could only nod obediently, but still made a small excuse: "Well, thank you uncle, but Xing'er thinks that brother Lian Ying won't bully me."

Han Qiu smiled, and at this moment his complexion was normal. He glanced at Shi Yu secretly, then at Lian Ying, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I don't know what is the relationship between you and the fifth prince now. I won't say anything about it, but I only have one sentence: No matter what you do, you can't hurt Xing'er and sister, and if one day you and I are really enemies, I won't be soft-hearted because of Xing'er."

Lian Ying was really surprised when he heard Han Qiu's words. In view of the fact that he had never had a good impression of Han Qiu when he first met him at the engagement banquet, he thought he was just an ordinary son. Being able to say these words, it can be seen that it should not be underestimated, but such a person belongs to the Han family, and the Han family supports the crown prince, but it is not just that simple.

"Hey, you are such a beautiful woman, how can you follow a thief." Lian Ying sighed, but didn't say anything more, after all, this was his choice, so what right did he have to interfere?

Han Qiu probably guessed what he meant when he heard his words, but instead of being angry, he chuckled lightly: "Hey, follow the thief? I don't know who is the follow-up thief, do you think it's better for you to follow the fifth prince than me?" ?"

After hearing this, Lian Ying was really annoyed. This person is really... Hey, he was only with Shi Yu temporarily, why did he follow him?

But why does it seem...it's not so difficult to accept when I hear this kind of words now.

After bidding farewell to Yuniang and Han Qiu who will stay with Yuniang for a few days, the three officially set off.

Unsurprisingly, Guan Xing and Shi Yu rode together, and Lian Ying rode alone. In order to take care of Lian Ying and Guan Xing, Shi Yu also had to slow down, but the horse he bought was a good one. I got a good map, which marked several routes from Qulan Town to the capital. The route Shi Yu chose was the best and relatively short. It is conservatively estimated that they will arrive there in about five days. In this case, there is still a day to rest before the prince's wedding.

Guan Xing was very curious along the way, but he still nestled in front of Shi Yu obediently, not daring to ask for anything more, because he vaguely felt that the two brothers were on their way, so he still didn't want to interfere Well, well, he's very good.

The three of them hurried and hurried, and finally arrived at the edge of Qulan Town facing the capital before sunset—at the foot of a small mountain. This mountain was also named Qulan Mountain because it was within the territory of Qulan Town.

There are a few small inns at the foot of Qulan Mountain for pedestrians, business travelers, and official errands to rest their feet, and because there is an official road in front of Qulan Mountain, the security here is not bad, and many people are willing to come here to rest for a night before going on the road.

The three entered an inn with a good appearance, Shi Yu asked the shopkeeper for a room with a cold face, and led the two of them to the room together with puzzled and suspicious eyes all the way.

After entering the room, the following dialogue mode was opened——

"There are obviously three people, why do we only need one room?" Lian Ying asked.

"There are not enough rooms." Shi Yu replied.

"Huh? Are there not enough rooms? But Xing'er saw that there are at least two vacant rooms." Guan Xing broke the stage.

"Stay far away." Shi Yu glanced at Guan Xing, his gaze was definitely not friendly.

"So?" Lian Ying continued to ask, really not understanding the logic of this.

"It's not safe." Shi Yu replied, his expression could not be vetoed, as if it was the fact.

Well, is it that unsafe to be apart?Didn't it mean that the inns here are quite safe? I don't know who has heard this before.Lian Ying complained silently in his heart, but he didn't say anything more. Anyway, it's not that the two of them have slept together, and there is a master bed and a couch in this room, which is indeed enough for sleeping.

"Well, Guan Xing and I sleep on the bed, so it's hard to sleep on the couch for our fifth prince." Lian Ying blinked and said with a smile, with a rare naughty look on his face.

Seeing Lian Ying like this, Shi Yu was slightly absent-minded, and quickly restrained his emotions, but walked to the couch "very well-behaved" to make the bed quilt.

After dinner and washing, Lian Ying hugged Guan Xing and fell asleep on the bed, and Shi Yu also fell asleep on the couch.

In the middle of the night, after Guan Xing had already fallen asleep, Lian Ying was still not sleepy, so he couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Hey, Shi Yu, are you asleep?"

After the question came out, there was a moment of silence, and just when Lian Ying thought Shi Yu had fallen asleep, he heard a low reply from the direction of the couch—"No."

Now it was silent again, Lian Ying felt that it was not so easy to fall asleep, so he simply found a topic to chat with Shi Yu.

"Aren't you curious about what I said to Han Qiu?"

"You can probably guess."

Such an answer simply made it impossible for him to continue the topic, even Ying Ying slandered, it seemed that he should sleep well.

"But you can talk about it." Someone was very kind and didn't hesitate.

"Well, since you have already guessed it, then you know that I explained the stakes with him, and I also said the promise I made to Yuniang, reassuring again and again. And Han Qiu is not a playboy, I understand what I mean, and he really cares about Yuniang and Xing'er, so he agreed to us to take Xing'er away after thinking for a while. I think Han Qiu is aware of the current situation of the court and the Han family, but it's a matter of understanding. The thing is, he himself is afraid that he is unwilling to betray the Han family, not to mention that he has ambitions, and he will not give up easily until the end."

"Hey, sure enough."

Shi Yu chuckled lightly, and even Ying felt a little sleepy after saying this, and when he was half asleep and half awake, he vaguely heard Shi Yu ask again——

"What did Han Qiu whisper to you before?"

Well, so he noticed it, Lian Ying thought to himself, but he didn't worry too much, anyway, this topic is not worth avoiding, so he replied with a little tiredness: "It's nothing, it's just that he thinks I've taken refuge in you." It's just you, to be honest, you..."

Shi Yu listened quietly to Lian Ying's next words, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear anything, and then he realized that he had probably fallen asleep. I woke up, just chatting, and fell asleep when we talked about the key point, really... hey, but what exactly does he think of himself?

So because of Lian Ying's unfinished sentence, our fifth prince didn't sleep much all night, which resulted in two light dark circles under his eyes when he woke up the next morning, and the eyes he looked at Lian Ying seemed to be the same as before, But there is a trace of resentment, which makes the whole body feel hairy when even responding.

Of course, Guan Xing, who was not affected at all, was very happy, because he had never slept on such a soft bed in an inn. It was so cool, the only thing that puzzled him was why brother Shi Yu was a little strange today, it was rare to see him a few more times this morning, but why did he make himself feel a little cold?

After the three of them got up, they went downstairs to set off after breakfast, but they didn't expect that they would run into an acquaintance during such a simple breakfast, and then a trouble would arise.
